I don't know if he's talking about their King of the Ring match in 2002 but I just watched that match yesterday and Kurt legit cut a promo backstage at KotR before the match laying into the interviewer for saying that people were saying that this is a fight between two real American heroes. It looked sort of like a shoot promo but I think it was more of a Kayfabe breaking promo because he said that he was the one who legit won an Olympic medal for his country, meanwhile he said that Hulk Hogan is an American Hero because Vince told him he was. If Vince had told him to be a Zoo keeper Hogan would be a zoo keeper today. It really surprised me for a promo in that day and age where Kayfabe was faithfully kept, Kurt was giving a little peek behind the curtain.
Hogan always wanted control because ever since Vince made him the top guy in the 80s to compete against Slick Ric his ego just inflated from there on out
@@ashishnair12 i dont agree with goldberg winning but let's be honest, the fiend was hot garbage. Bray wyatt hasn't been good since his wyatt family gimmick
@Greg Quinn it would be equivalent to being able to throw all your weight into a shot, whether that be double leg, single leg, high crotch, fireman's carry, etc. Myself, as a lowly high school and collegiate wrestler, learned how to do that effectively. Now imagine the training of an Olympic champion level athlete.
That's the saddest part about the whole thing. This coming from a guy who loved the Hulkster as a kid. The character is still one of the best ever and what he did for the business in terms of popularity can't be forgotten. But the man, the human being underneath it all is just such a piece of shit. I recently listened to an interview where he spoke about the Screwjob where literally every detail was wrong almost to the participants lol. The only thing he got right was that it happened. Just everything you'd never want your kid to be.
So true. Back in the day Jesse Ventura tried to get the wrestlers together and unionize. Jesse had a bunch of the top guys who were going to go with him. Hulk ratted Jesse out and Vince fired Jesse and the rest is history. Hulks always been a snake in the grass.
The lesson here is if you DON'T sell, when you KNOW you're SUPPOSED to because you don't respect your opponent, don't be surprised when he stiffs you right out of your boots; and don't expect to be entitled to a receipt because YOU can't work with him.
Hogan was such an asshole, it sucks that for many people, Hogan is the epitome of wrestling, at least with Austin it was about what made the most sense for the business as a whole and not just about him.
Jim cornette has a funny video of hogan's lies over the years. Even if you don't like cornette I'd recommend listening cause god damn has hogan told some absurd lies
@@VonArmagedda Except he didn't claimed that, he said he heard the bassist was out and they were doing auditions for a new one, so he send a tape of his bass solo to see what would happen, and Metallica didn't call him back, and the story stopped there.
Hogan and Shawn are about the same backstage (that's why they were the top guys at the time) but Hogan has more pull due to time in WWE and friendship with Vince, that's why Shawn Michaels threw a flop fit (funny overselling) when he knew he would lose to Hogan. It is hilarious when egos clash.
@@magilla2282 The amount of hate Hogan gets from people nowadays is insane. He was the face of the company for 10 years and is probably the most famous and well known wrestler of all time .
As a fan, don’t concern yourself with what goes on behind the scenes. In the ring is all that counts for us and Hogan was the man. The only reason You or I know any of this shit is because of social media…which is a fucking killjoy. I don’t care what actors are dicks in real life, I don’t care what ballplayers are rude, and I don’t care what wrestlers are like backstage.
Ya gotta understand something, Hulk's mind was in a different place then. He had just got that offer to play bass for Metallica. So while you're trying to do a little hit on him he's thinking about hitting those chords to Enter Sandman in front of 200,000 fans BROTHER
@0.09er6 what they’re saying is the ones that play assholes on TV are the nicest ones to meet and the ones that play the good guys are the biggest asshole to meet but I would say that statement is both true and false lol
Damn man I ain't gonna lie I fuckin hated Kurt for all his years in character but it's definitely cool seeing him out of character, he's actually pretty cool 😅
When you can hate someone like that but still appreciate their ability, you know they are one of the best at what they do. And btw, “wrestling machine” Kurt Angle hit different
Go back and watch his debut match. Every little movement he does is so intense and purposeful, and the moves are all totally precise. He's a wrestling genius. And totally ok with making a total ass of himself. The opposite of Hogan
Angle is a once in a lifetime talent. Olympic ability, crazy pain threshold, relentless worker, and had some comedy as the straight man. Hes not mount Rushmore but hes definitely underrated often.
God, every story about Hulk demonstrates that he is literally the worst. Then you throw in Thiel and the Gawker lawsuit. I just wish he had stuck to body building.

See you need to holds and moves and death defying flippity dippity because the workers CANT TELL A STORY in the ring. You’re not smart about “the business” cause you think every match has to be Wrestlemania quality every time when that’s not the case.
Vader was way too passive with everyone. Sometimes the biggest guy is the most sensitive guy. He should've let a couple competitors feel a taste of what he was capable of. Including Hogan and HBK
That's a rare kindness from Hulk not burying the guy. Also I wonder if Hulk panicked about the spot and the harder hit snapped him out of it. If you have a bad back you tend to protect it subconsciously. It stuns me just how much he bumped in his 2002-2003 run.

@@malachisgrace1047professional hogan defender
This is why some wrestlers NEED to be "stiff". Because when his or her opponent refuses to sell the moves it makes the match look phony.
And makes the attacker look weak.
Hulk was the kid in class that told on everybody in class when the teacher gets back in the room and she didn't ask anybody about anything lol
Ask Jesse Ventura
More like the one who provoked fights then snitched for you hitting him

Stiffness is appropriate if your opponent is refusing to sell. At least Hogan's response sounds good-humored and not bratty
I have a feeling that Kurt is softening what Hulk REALLY said.
